A few possibilities.

sportsters) and then also put in specific modem commands you want.
b) Your UART port on your serial port/modem port is wrong

Try rm -i ./*
The ./ will cancel out the leading hyphens.
To get the inode of a file, try ls -i. I checked if rm lets you
remove a file by inode. It doesn't. You might play with ext2ed.

If it is an old drive running off the floppy disk controller,
then /dev/ftape is the right device. But as you say, it is
probably hopeless to ty to decode what is on the tapes.
You might try finding out from HP (which bought Colorado) what
the format is.

You should tell us a bit more. First, do you have a Linux
partition containing the kernel which is below cylinder 1024?
Do you know what kind of disk and disk controller you have?
The RH6.2 install should have allowed you to created a boot floppy.
Boot from that and run the following commands as root
fdisk -l
(This may need an argument. It would be something like
/dev/hda or /dev/sda.)
More /etc/lilo.conf
Let us know the results.
Warning: On some systems, the boot floppy takes a VERY long time
to start booting. Give it 20 minutes before you conclude it isn't
working.

If you have a machine that's rated at 500MHz, and you're getting that
kind of heat out of it, you've got a hardware problem. Whatever the
symptoms, and whether they show up in Windows or just in NT, you've
definitely got a hardware problem. At that temperature you are going to
see instability. My guess is it's showing up in Linux more "just
because." Maybe Linux is making better use of the "hard" instruction
sets (it *is* optimised for the Pentium, etc.) or whatever, but it's
definitely a hardware problem. Even if you mistyped your temperatures
and you were running 120F, that's a concern.
Try cooling your case better (you should have at least one fan other
than the power supply fan) and bear in mind the possibility that you've
damaged something from the heat. For reference, I've got dual
Celeron/400's overclocked to 504, and I'm running about 90 F.

Let me follow up. What you report sounded a bit suspicious,
so I checked the size of fips.exe and it is only about 170K,
which makes sense since it fits on the floppy. It may be
that the DOS disk you created can't make full use of the memory
or for some other reason connected with your BIOS, it can't
see the memory. fips does not need a whole lot of memory
since it doesn't move files, it just reorganizeds the
partition table and the file allocation table.
Try creating a Windows startup disk and then copying all the
fips material to it.

Check your BIOS settings. If there is a memory hole at 16MB, then

Can you boot to DOS on the HD? If so, assuming you want to make the
boot disk in the A: drive bootable:
format a: /s
If you have a blank, formatted disk, "sys a:" should work too.

These are just my opinions...
As you allude to later in your note, dump is also implicitly aware of
backup 'levels', which it tracks through the /etc/dumpdates.log file.
You could write a script that caused tar to do something like this, but
dump does it for you automatically.
I prefer dump to tar because of the backup levels, and the companion to
dump (which is 'restore') allows you to dynamically select files to
restore by traversing a directory tree. Whereas with tar if you want to
restore something, you would keep a log of verbose tar output at the
time you backed up, then find the file in the list and restore that when
you wanted to restore it. In other words, the dump/restore is a little
more backup system oriented, whereas tar is more generically an
archiving tool (as is cpio).
I think I understand why the dump manual page recommends Tower of Hanoi
scheme with the levels, and why there are ten levels. First, there are
actually 3 types of backups you might want to do: full, incremental, or
differential. Incremental backs up everything that is new/changed since
the last backup of any kind. Differential backs up everything that is
new/changed since the last full backup. To get a full backup with dump,
you use level 0. To get an incremental backup, you use one level higher
than the previous. For differential backup, you use one level higher
than the level of the backup that you want to diff from.
So if you want to do a string of incremental backups, each incremental
from the previous, you need a new level for each one. Having levels 0
through 9 gives you one full and 9 incrementals. The "Towers of Hanoi"
scheme essentially gives you a sequence of incrementals and
differentials that balance efficiency of backup data quantity with how
many backup sessions do you have to access if you want to restore
everything.
I rattled this of the top of my head, so I probably goofed something up
somewhere in the explanation, but you get the idea...
